Points of interest:
1)Takenouchi Yutaka and Kanno Miho
Both of them are my favourites and this combination is quite refreshing. Especially for Takenouchi who has not been in a full-length drama for some time, it is extremely exciting to see him back in action. Based on what I've seen from the first two episodes, their acting seems to have improved significantly and I look forward to more sparks between them as the story progresses.
2) The storyline
I like stories which reflect reality. Although there have been many medical-themed dramas, you can have various perspectives to the same topic. In this case, instead of seeing a heroic-type of doctor like what we've seen in Iryuu, this drama focuses on the harsh reality of maintaining the financial feasibility of the medical institution vs. the idealistic approach of providing medical care to all who need it. On one hand, we have Kanno's character, Aiko fighting to keep the bankrupt town hospital accessible to the locals but Endo (Ogawa Tamaki) wants to transform it into a celebrity hospital where medical care is only offered to those who can afford it. Takenouchi's character, Moriyama has a hidden past and is caught between his beliefs and what reality requires.
